The things the game does well is the atmosphere and it's pretty creepy. IDK why they chose to put the subtitles on pieces of paper that you have to click instead of putting them on the screen as the voice actor is talking since it doesn't pause while you're locked in trying to read the paper since some of the voice acting can be very difficult to understand at points. The Ending is either glitched or the game doesn't explain what it wants you to do well enough it says go back to the main settlement area is that the entrance? Is that one of the many different rooms? Boss Magically teleports and decides when it wants to kill you. I had so many save files get glitched on the way from the server room to the entrance it wasn't even funny where you would spawn it couldn't move and would die automatically after 8 seconds I countered this by using a health kit while loading the save and resaving, but still nothing happened at the possible exit???? I gave this game MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE than a fair shot to be extremely disappointed.

The Unknown Fear for a single dev/first timer is an excellent game. I came thinking it was nothing, but got really scared when I realized there's an almost invisible entity chasing me. My suggestions are:
- Make us progress in the history, you can still do this without more environment.
- Add more items and more things for us to find, I opened a lot of empty closets, more than I'd like.
- Work on the entity's AI, give it more personality so it doesn't just chase you. It's a good thrill, but we want more.
Overall, it's a good horror game and it will give you anxiety if you're into horror games.
Keep up the good work, dev.

Not gonna lie, I didn't finish it...As a person who can watch horror movies and horror game playthroughs, I can not for the life of me handle horror games myself......*SPOILER* *SPOILER* An alarm went off after like 10mins of gameplay and I freaked out and left...So this game did scare a low tolerance guy like myself, and for just about 3.23 USD that was worth it. Happy Early Halloween Folks!
